I really appreciate all the good advice. I will change the steering shock just because I can't stand to see that little drop of fluid hanging on there. Gives me the willies. I will give it the old bumper squash and see what I think. I think I have a date with the suspension shop in my future so this will get addressed then. Now if anyone could help me with my d*** wiper then I would really be happy...
